Since the source of the fire is a night scene, it will be far easier to convert the background to night than it would be to convert the fire to daytime lighting. On this page we will start the night conversion of the rest of the image. You can skip this if you have a better fire picture or don't want to do the night conversion.Make two copies of the background layer just above the background. Select the lower of the two copies and open the "gradient map" adjustment tool. Create a color pallet of brown, tan, and orange that resembles what I have shown below, then apply the gradient. Use the "levels" tool to brighten the dark woodwork, remember you are creating the lit portions of the image at the moment, so it is important to get some detail in the dark areas.
